i have a 95 gc 4.0 i recently replaced one of the brake caliper in the rear because it was sticking and i recently changed the pads to, now i smell the brake pad burning on the same caliper i just changed. what could make it still stick and any recommendations and what to do?
Thank you

A leaking axle seal can cause problems as well as a bad brake hose. You should always replace brake hoses, calipers and wheel cylinders as pairs. The left rear caliper may not be working and the right one is doing all of the work.

Well if the caliper was stuck then you probably have some burnt fluid in there somewhere from the added heat. Have you done a "complete" brake fluid change.

Hope you checked the e-brake tension before changing the caliper

Did you replace both Side rear pads or just the one side?

If it is burning brakes, its the hose, 99 percent of the time sticking brakes is a hose not a caliper, calipers leak, they usually dont stick.
